How do I register my runner to race?
We use TeamSnap to mark runner availability. Please refer to the meets page for more details.
How do I sign up to carpool, volunteer or to bring snacks?
You will receive an invitation to use SignUp Genius. Send a note to Coach Sims at fredsims@berkeley.net if you need access. Please refer to the meets page for more details.
What time do track meets start and end?
Competitions start at 4 p.m. and are usually done sometime between 6 and 7 p.m.
When does my cross country runner race?
Races are separated by gender and grade. Depending on the size of the field, seventh and eighth grade races are sometimes combined. Gender order is sometimes alternated as well but will vary by host.
Here is a sample order:
6th grade girls
6th grade boys
7th/8th grade girls
7th/8th grade boys
Do we have to stay for the entire meet?
Families are encouraged to stay and cheer for the entire team, but we understand that schedules are busy. If you are a carpool driver, make sure your runner has a return ride if you need to leave early.
What if I can drive there, but not back?
Make sure you note this detail when you sign up to drive.
I can't carpool, but can I pick up my runner from the meet?
Absolutely. Please note this detail as well when you sign up to drive.
Also make sure you check in with one of the coaches or the parent that drove your runner before you leave. We don't want to leave any athletes stranded.
